Gabriele Tinti writes poems inspired by ancient and modern artworks. He has worked with famous museums like the J.

His poetry is about important sculptures such as the Boxer at Rest, the Discobolus, and the Farnese Hercules.

In 2018, his poetry project ‘Ruins’ won the Premio Montale award.[1]

In 2020, the National Roman Museum made an audio guide with Tinti’s poetry. Famous actors, including Kevin Spacey and Franco Nero, recorded his poems.
